Deb-get not working after upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04

[ironfoot]

You have at least two versions of deb-get script in your system:

1. A new one supporting Ubuntu 24.04, you downloaded it manually and named deb-get.sh .
2. The old one from deb-get_0.4.0-1_all.deb package. This one is installed as /usr/bin/deb-get and does not support Ubuntu 24.04.

The command:
/bin/bash deb-get.sh install zoom
Works great.

Here, you are using the newer deb-get script, so it works.

I can get the most recent such file by executing
/bin/bash deb-get.sh install deb-get
When I do that now, I get
[+] deb-get_0.4.0-1_all.deb is up to date.:

Here, you are using the newer deb-get script to download the latest deb-get_0.4.0-1_all.deb release. Your command works, it installs deb-get_0.4.0-1_all.deb package. During installation, the OLD deb-get script from the .deb package is installed to /usr/bin/deb-get.

@lubkin

If I try deb-get install deb-get
I get!] ERROR! Ubuntu Noble is not supported because it is not derived from a supported Debian or Ubuntu release.

Here, you are using the script from /usr/bin/deb-get directly. It's the old one, so it doesn't work. If you want this method to work, you need to replace the script in /usr/bin/deb-get with a new one.
